13 Of The Best Airlie Beach Airbnbs For Whitsundays Fun

Two words. Outdoor bathtub. There’s just something a bit spesh about lounging in bubbles while gazing at lush tropical surrounds or a starry night sky, and this boutique Airbnb in central Airlie Beach offers just that treat. It’s one of five bungalows in the same area (which can all be booked together to form an epic private group retreat), and features an actual bathroom courtyard where you can bathe in peace. 

Bathtub aside, you’ve also got an outdoor shower to refresh under, and a large private balcony with a table for eating outdoors. Not that you need to. Your accommodation is a short, flat walk from town, which makes exploring the restaurants, beaches and nightlife just that much more fun.
